The regulators want financial institutions to comply with their appraisal guidance. But more importantly, the regulators intend for banks to recognize and avoid situations that create risk for their specific institution. Operational risk incorporates many of the other types of risk an institution can face. There are some conditions under which a faulty appraisal program can inflate a bank's operational risk. This webinar will look closely at those situations and options to avoid them.
